A recent poll suggested that Prop 37 is likely to pass.  That is a very good sign BUT it is too soon to let up on efforts to educate as many people as possible as to the concerns over GMO’s and the need to label our foods.  Let the People of California’s bid to govern, result in change that is positive and demonstrate to our elected officials that they do, indeed, work for US.  Here’s a link to the story and results of the latest poll – [link],0,5015236.story As the story states, the no campaign will start their heavy spending… Read More

Falcon Trading, dba, SunRidge Farms has issued a voluntary recall of three items that utilize Sunland, Inc. peanut butter.  The three items are being voluntarily recalled as part of a larger action by Sunland, Inc.  No SunRidge Farms items have been implicated in the Salmonella concerns recently uncovered but we are voluntarily recalling these items as a precautionary measure.  Consumers who purchased Energy Nuggets, Peanut Butter Power Chews, or Treasure Trove Mix recently should return the product to their retailer and exchange for new product or request a refund.  These are only bulk items; this recall does not impact any… Read More

Monsanto and others are spending millions on fighting Prop 37 and here’s an example of that influence. By touting a study that is neither peer reviewed or published (except on the No on 37 website) they have further tried to muddy the waters regarding the important facts. Fortunately, the Huffington Post and others have quickly refuted the study and its lack of objectivity. Even the two professors named in the study refuse to answer questions and even disclaim the UC ties to the study. How embarrassing for UC Davis and these two ‘professors’. Certainly any research they’ve done in the… Read More

The opponents of Prop 37 like to mislead us.  Thanks to this story, some of these deceptions are easier to dismiss.  Share this information with your friends, family, and grocer.  The facts are that GM foods need to be labeled so we have a choice as to whether or not we want to purchase and consume.  Read the following to be better informed – [link] California Voters – Please VOTE YES on PROP 37 this November.

It’s really interesting to see how much money the pesticide and chemical companies have put into the campaign against labeling of GMO’s.  Please make it clear to these companies that it will be far more costly to their business if they continue to go against the will of the people.  Call them, write them, fax them and most importantly VOTE YES on PROP 37 this November. [link]

Monsanto, today, released a response to the recent study that demonstrated the negative effects of long term use of GM foods.  In this response they claim that controls weren’t rigid enough, and that the results didn’t warrant the conclusions.  Wait, this is the same company that ‘buys’ the groups that are doing research that it doesn’t like.  This is the same company whose own studies have lacked the controls and transparency they claim are missing in this study.  This is also the same company that said Agent Orange was safe.  Visit the Monsanto site if you wish to see their… Read More

Who is Michael R. Taylor? Well, as the FDA’s Deputy Commissioner for Foods, he is the person supposed to be ensuring that the FDA fulfill it’s mission. His personal quote regarding his role is this – “Protecting the food supply, making it safe, making it nutritious, is one of the most fundamental duties of government.” Did you know that he has been involved with and/or worked with Monsanto since 1981? In any arena the possibility of conflict of interest would be obvious but we’ve all learned how Washington and Wall Street do business and if ‘conflict of interest’ helps protect… Read More

It’s becoming ever more clear that GM foods are not what Monsanto and others have claimed.  Take a look at the first long term study on GM foods that was independently funded, peer reviewed, and published.  This was published in the Huffington Post. [link] One of the questions raised in this article is why it’s taken so long to get a study of this type.  Take a look at the donors of the No on 37 Campaign and you’ll understand.  These companies have throttled research, especially in the US.  Why???  Well we’d have to use sodium pentothal (truth serum) in… Read More
